- : the science dealing with crystallization and the forms and structure of crystals.
Examples
The CASP challenge crowd-sourced predictions of protein structures that have already been identified using X-ray crystallography, but were unavailable to the public.
Until now, the only way to know a protein’s structure with near certainty was through a method known as X-ray crystallography.
The problem is, these predicted folding patterns were frequently wrong, failing to match the structures scientists found through X-ray crystallography.
AlphaFold 2 is “on par” with X-ray crystallography across more than two-thirds of the proteins in the CASP competition, Moult said.
It takes about a year and costs about $120,000 to obtain the structure of a single protein through X-ray crystallography, according to an estimate from the University of Toronto.
This was especially exemplified in the case of the Abb Hay, whose work in crystallography was to mean so much.
Now in crystallography there are only thirty-two possible classes of crystal lattice construction.
The study of the geometric forms assumed by minerals (crystallography) forms a department of the science of mineralogy.
On the strength of this, modern crystallography distinguishes six different systems of crystals.
Needless to say crystallography is not confronted with problems of such a nature.
